Burntout (Fantasy)
In a world where magic comes at a devastating cost, Burntout is a gripping tale of resilience, redemption, and the fight to reignite a spark that has all but faded.
Saren Valen was once a celebrated mage, revered for her fiery magic and unmatched prowess on the battlefield. But wielding such power came with a price-every spell drained a part of her life force, leaving her weaker and more hollow with each victory. Now, burned out and broken, Saren lives in exile, a shadow of the hero she once was.
When the once-thriving city of Iryth falls under siege by an ancient, otherworldly force, Saren is reluctantly pulled back into the fight. Desperate villagers beg for her help, and despite her failing strength, she agrees to guide a ragtag band of rebels in a last-ditch effort to save their home.
As Saren embarks on this dangerous mission, she discovers that the enemy is unlike anything she's faced before-an insidious darkness that feeds on despair and extinguishes the magic of the land. To stand a chance, Saren must confront the very forces that left her broken, digging deep into reserves she no longer believes she has.
But the fight isn't just external. Haunted by the ghosts of her past and the burden of her dwindling power, Saren must grapple with her own self-worth and the choices that brought her to this point. Along the way, she finds unexpected allies-a thief with a mysterious connection to the enemy, a healer who sees the spark still burning within her, and a young mage whose untapped potential could change the tide of the war.
